The new team still has the hardware, it is just now pointed to from
libav.org. I had to subscribe to all libav.org lists manually. I have
been subscribed to all ffmpeg.org lists automatically. As far as I am
aware, there was no auto-subscribing from the libav.org people. Yours
seems to be a strange exception.

I had no part in that. I don't particularly appreciate being
auto-subscribed to ffmpeg.org mailing lists, but I probably would have
done anyway.
